Sounders open MLS Reserve League schedule with a win at Chivas USA

The Sounders got a weekend sweep against Chivas USA as the reserves followed the first team with a 3-2 road win Sunday. Seattle’s goals came from Tristan Bowen (acquired in an offseason trade with the Goats), Chad Barrett and an own goal.

Midfielder Andy Rose was able to play about 60 minutes having missed the past few games with a hamstring injury. The initial plan was for Brad Evans to get some minutes in his return from a calf injury, but it doesn’t look like that was the case.

I’ll ask for updates on both after Monday’s practice.

Eriq Zavaleta, a Chivas defender on-loan from the Sounders, started but left the game in the second half after a hard collision with Kenny Cooper. Zavaleta, of course, wasn’t eligible to play Saturday due to MLS rules on intraleague loans.
